Yayyyyyy I don't feel so crappy anymore!
I can walk around without the fear of being in pain.

I was able to walk for a total for 1.5 hours . I rest for 2 hours n then get up and walk around the house for 30 minutes.

Dr. office called and drains will be out on Tuesday! I can't wait! I'm barely getting any drainage out... total yesterday 15 from each drain and today same thing...I emailed the surgeons office me they called within 10 minutes. I must say, his receptionist, Simone, is just so pleasant to speak with and responds so quickly to any concerns I've had. She recommends I try to be a little more active ( walking only of course)!

My dressing covering the drain was coming apart and it was really started to sting where the drains come out from. She told me I can remove the dressing that's falling off. It felt sooooo much Better and no more stinging pain !

Ohhhh and the best part of today is I finally had the energy for a body wash!!! Oh how I love my husband for being there for me ! He sat me down and cleaned me... I couldn't wash my hair but hopefully in a day or two I'll be able to. Let's just say it's not the sexiest I've felt !!

After all he exercise and trying to be independent I feel like my abdomen is swelling up and feels gassy !!! I'll definitely be sleeping like a baby tonight!

Sooooooo much better today! Got to finally sleep the whole night. I was exhausted. I did a whooping 500 steps and I'm very proud of Myself!

Still sleeping in the recliner me missing my baby oh so much. Hoping to bring her back home tomorrow. She is great care with grandma but life without my baby girl just isn't the same!

Got the strength to go up my 15 stairs all alone and trying to be more independent. Of course hubby is taking care of all the house chores.

Can't wait to get my drains removed... now annoying thing ever. It hurts in a weird way... they are just in the way and since they are closed Saturday & Sunday, only time they can remove them will be next week. Not draining much.... total of 30 yesterday and today seems like nothing coming out anymore. They said that's normal, I'm hoping so.... anyway I'm going to be patient and can't wait to be able to stand straight and see my final result !!!

Oh boy.... let's just say I had the worse sleep ever.
I have an adjustable bed but to get in the bed was the most painful thing ever. I screamed and then broke down and cried and my poor husband stood there not knowing what was wrong. I finally get in bed, he sets me up with everything I need ( water , pills, cell phone etc...) 5 minutes later... I have to use the washroom. Back to the struggle , how the hell do I get out of my bed ????

Let's just say, I didn't go back to my bed after I got out of it. I was told to roll in and out of bed... okay how is this possible as I can't lay flat , I couldn't get my legs to get up on the bed without screaming my lungs out. I just gave up on sleeping in a bad and decided I was going to sleep on our couch as they re recliners.


Back pain is pretty bad... tummy feels tight, like it's sore and at time so tight that I feel like I can't breathe.

I'm not sure how much worse it gets but I'm hoping this is it!

Anyway posting a before and after pic ! This is going to be worth the pain!!!
